More desperate pleas by Google. I just saw an article by some Google shill that made a case against self hosting. Next they’ll try to make it illegal.

I worry about security issues if all my friends use Windows and Android/Apple phones.I’m in the middle of setting up my open source router with all the security features I want, but if they have Google and Facebook on their phones, is that not just as bad as just using Google drive? Other than subscriptions and whatnot.


Went to buy something yesterday and they asked for my phone number and name to “get points”. I am so fucking tired of it. Had to explain that I’m a privacy weirdo and I don’t do that. The people who work there seem shocked and completely clueless as to why someone would refuse.


This person sounds like a shill, and the article sounds like a desperate plea for people to come back. There is not a single mention of accepting risks associated with Google, or the reason why he thought maintenance was not going to be a problem, or what his maintenance issues actually were. I assume maintenance is worse if you’re doing something illegal or hosting media servers that access material in violation of copyright laws.


Does Lemmy fall under that category? I wonder if it doesn’t hit the dopamine like TicToc.


Yes please. I’m doing this immediately.


I don’t get it. I got neo just to see how I liked it. The default markup highlighting is nice. I guess I’m not experienced enough to appreciate to Lua part, but I have no nerds to play with so don’t know what it’s for really.


The thieves can have my data if it will be bad for Google. I hope these tech CEOs eat shit.
It’s a goddamn circle jerk, but it works. I was hired for one job at 85k, and was recently offered my dream job on there ( twice as much). It’s also a good way to see what your coworkers used to do. I’ve had my account for about 20 years. Now it’s full of bots and for whatever crazy fucking reason, people have political commentary on a professional site. Beats anything I’ve ever seen, but I was offered the last position after the bot arrival, so it still works.


Best we can do is give Facebook messenger access to the private texts you send to us.
It’s still good and it works. However, it’s a sickening circle jerk of tool who value productivity and “successful people have these 5 habits” rather than worker protections had works-life balance.


I’d tell them to fuck off. He doesn’t need to wear a red band. Fucking fascists pigs.


I wish the mods would give us a YouTube to alt bot. Maybe I can fix that in my side by fiddling with a resolver some place.


I just got my ancient iPod classic out. Works perfectly, has jack, no tracking, no stupid ads, just my music whenever the fuck I want. I never thought it would be such a treasure in 2026.


I just got an OpenWrt One router to start setting it all up. I think once I get everything working well, I will try to find another nerd in town and get an antenna.


I’m on dbzer0 and they have one. Does that mean I can just use my dbzer0 account?


I couldn’t figure out how to sign up for matrix server. Maybe there are peer tube videos.


Are there any groups we can join as archivist / hoarders?
You should have ask what would happen if the figures were wrong, let them make an excuse and then eat shit later. AI is taking our jobs. Never interrupt an enemy making a mistake.
